#ff asks

bugs when you lift up a rock

Thank you for the ask, Cat 🥰🥰🥰🥰

🥳Why did you start writing fanfic?

I started out as a very little sloth! I believe I was maybe 9 or 10 when I wrote my first HP fanfiction! I don't remember which one was the first but I can definitely tell you that it was Prongsfoot 🤭😂 I did it mainly because I was always very bad at keeping my thoughts in my head when I start to get obsessive with something!! I would daydream all day otherwise! So fanfiction was a way for me to work through my wild fantasies 😊😊

🤩 What led to your interest in the fandom?

I don't know if I have an elaborate answer for that 😂 I think I am just as obsessed with characters as everyone else here and it is a nice way to connect with people who are similarly inclined and won't give you odd looks!!! I think fandom is such a nice place to create and uplift eachother. It creates a type of community that has become rare in the last years and I think that's beautiful 💕

🎁 Have a piece of a WIP you want to share?

Yessss I will share some of my post prank fanfiction "M is for Murder"!!! I will need more time to finish but I cannot wait until I can post the first part!!!

Sirius' sleepy brain took a minute to remember why they were down here. He immediately grew tense. His eyes got drawn up towards the door of the dorm. Remus would wake up soon.

He untangled himself from the soundly sleeping James and went up the stairs with wobbly knees.

When he entered the dorm, Peter and Remus were still asleep. Sirius sat down on the edge of his bed. He was trembling. Whether it was the cold or the anxiety coursing through his body he could not tell. He felt raw and on edge.

What had he done?

😊😊😊😇😇

📗 Do you want to write something outside of fanfiction? If so, what about?

I have written some original fiction!! But only shared it with my irl friends yet 😊 It is usually some sort of fantasy with a heavy touch of humor because I am a fucking clown and can't take things seriously 😊

I used to write a lot as a kid and only some part of that was fanfiction.

📚 Is there a fanfic or fanfic writer you recommend?

Oh of course!!! Taglist incoming:

Plugging @lovelymasks @mycupofrum @albi-bumblebee @plecotusauritus for outstanding prongsfoot,

@neege and @werewolfenthusiast for sapphic wolfstar enjoyers,

@lynxindisguise for wolfstar with damp, noodly Remus Lupin

and @caslyra for canon compliance some people (me included🫠) can only dream of!!

I probably forgot a bunch of people that I love as well, so I may add later xD

Hey anon. I get that the rules may not be cool with everyone, but as the person that is putting in the work each week, I think I have every right to not include things I'm not comfortable with. People are more than welcome to start their own fandom events to include that material, but as the person that spends hours every week curating the queue and creating the master post and sifting through my inbox, I'm not going to change to try and get more people to participate. Not all of the rules are exclusionary; in fact, many of them are just informative in to how to participate and clarifications on what can and should be recommended.

I don't think the reason I'm not getting participation has anything to do with the rules; it's a larger trend that we've been seeing a lot on here lately. People just aren't engaging in the same way that they used to, and just about every writer and artist I talk to agrees that reblogs and comments are down. This event is intended to change that, but when I can't even get people to engage in that way, it's discouraging.

I was tagged by the lovely @asirensrage. Thank you! <3

Rules: Post all the WIPs currently in your drive. Send me an ask about something that interests you and I’ll tell you something about it!

Ah no worries at all!! Didn’t manage to unlock all of the stories so might be missing a few, but

Tldr: Mingsixi involved Peking in a plan which (to Peking) consisted of greatly personal and important elements even though there was no need to, when he (Mingsixi) had no intention of legitly wholeheartedly helping, and dangled Peking’s goal in front of him, before then snatching it away and betraying his trust without him (Peking) knowing

:readmore:

In the main story Mingsixi wanted to cause humans to be more reliant on food souls and so came up with a plan to involve

a) a Whole bunch of food souls (so more would be available to save the humans when the plan kicked off and stuff happened)

And also b) the holy master, head honcho of the evil capital (love that that’s actually its name nfbs), the leader of the organisation that kicked off Peking’s whole thing about absolutely tearing it down and stopping them from hurting even more people

In this event, he partnered with the holy church (I hope I got the right name) of whose leader is Chicken Strip Soup, and who’s goal is to yoink the holy master into a body for him to possess

Mingsixi wanted to use the holy master’s body yoinking ceremony to cause humans to need saving by food souls, causing them to rely on them more in the future (his goal) and to do that he called food souls over- including Peking, who’s been hunting said evil capital’s remnants for the past many many many years (why remnants? Because he mostly singlehandedly otherwise blew up and destroyed the evil capital after successfully going undercover in said capital for a while) - for so much so that he’s considered to basically be the most knowledgeable person about the evil capital and holy master around

Due to that, I had a theory at first that he was in fact working with Peking, seeing as how Peking is extremely sharp and hard to play, but alas

Skipping a bit forward though, Mingsixi gave the information about the plan for the holy master to have a body yoinking ceremony during the divine lord succession ceremony to Peking, and had him led about to set up safeguards against worser outcomes, which valid, if somewhat foolish! Peking singlehandedly destroyed a city! He might have been trying to get on his good graces, or it might probably have been poor writing for this event, but there wasn’t an extremely great reason why Peking in particular had to be there! Mingsixi might not have known that Peking would roll in with a gang for more food souls, and it might have been too high risk! (Might be in a story I didn’t get, in which case my bad, but if not then alas)

This, plus the event having to star more of Laxiji as one of the main food souls had the unfortunate result of event writing that could be improved and also or leading to ooc Peking and Mingsixi seeming to quite effortlessly play Peking and him not realising even after stuff happened later, which is one of two main things I feel which did Peking dirty (though much of it can be attributed to characterisation and event story limitations)

The other thing I feel did Peking dirty is Mingsixi dangling Peking’s goal of catching the holy master in front of him and then snatching it away. This I feel can be split again into bad writing/not enough event story time and in-universe character happenings though for this the latter is probably more applicable, so!

After Mingsixi’s causing chaos for food souls to save humans plan kicked off, the divine lord booked it in the chaos and Peking gave chase after him! Mingsixi prior to this was by the holy master’s side (or at least the body before it got yoinked, F my mans divine lord white tiger x’)) and also in the know of what Peking would be up to (was working with Peking to help him infiltrate the holy church) and as such likely knew at least that he would likely be there at the ceremony and also be there to see the holy master, Peking’s enemy #1, mess shit up

After Peking chased after the holy master, some stuff happened that’s not currently relevant but interesting nonetheless and the holy master injured Peking and left, leaving Peking very injured and unable to follow at which point the guy himself (Mingsixi) appeared!

Mingsixi then promised a very desperate and low-key pleading Peking to go after the divine lord and prevent his escape while lamb spine hotpot watched over him and took off

And then in the next scene dropped the act entirely, worked with Chicken Strip Soup to help the holy master escape, gave tips on how to find a better host body, vexed Chicken Strip Soup, and thanked and got them to do tasks for him, while not once mentioning anything about Peking, still a bleeding mess back over yonder

Which can be summed up as Mingsixi purposely letting Peking go ahead after the holy master despite not having to have him be there for this event at all, and then snatching and throwing to the wind again the goal he’s been grinding for since his backstory all those years ago

Which. Hm. While good for him, was personally not a fan of! (Great characterisation though!!)

(But also Peking now knows what the holy master looks like (he didn’t have a body before) so also win for him! He deserves it I think)

(A personal theory is that he wanted to seem more trustworthy to Peking to get on his good side by letting him see his goal in front of him (ultimately underestimating him and his abilities) but that’s another thing entirely, so while very good for Mingsixi, sucked greatly for Peking and the rest of the villa co, rip)

Your least favorite protagonist? Why?

Probably Matt.

Not to say I hate him so much he deserved what he got (honestly no one does) but he was a massive jerk to everyone around him and I felt bad for the Springtrap AI because.....buddy....he may just be code to you...but you have no right to abuse him bc you think he's "winning" when he's just following his program.
